Figuring the Losses.

CHICAGO, August 16.-A special from
Peoria, ILL.,, says many friends and rel.
atives of the dead we're at the railroad
compauy's general Office to-day, and con-
siderable speculation is heard as to the
possible action of the company relating
to the settlement of claims. The road is
by no means in a good financial condition
Its stock, or at least the greater part of it,
is owned by parties in New York city, oil
who are represented there. Officers of the
company are reporting to the stock
holders the extent of the calamity and all
the facts connected Herewith. AS soor
as the reports have been received and
digested line of policy will be marked
out and communicated to the officials
here. Then public announcement of thu
action of the company will be made. Th'
aggregate loss, measured by precedents
amounts TO some hundreds of thousand
of dollars.

BURNET, August 16.-Mr. ID. X. Hudson,
who with his mother, Mrs. Hudson, and
his sister, Mrs. r. B. Williams, went to
Wootan Wells, has returned home. Mrs.
Hudson and Mrs. Williams will remain Bt
the wells several weeks.
The Baptist brethren of this city, at
the regular meeting for business on Sat
.ugdag, decided to call Rev. j. A. Arbuckle,
of Bertram, to take charge of this church.
We hope Elder Arbuckle will accept the
call. He is young preacher of consider
able talent, and will, we have
no doubt, do much towards building up
the membership of the church in this city,
should he conclude to come here.
Messrs. r. r. Landrum, j. j. Sarrels
and Mr.. Yates, left for California yester-
day. Mr.. Landrum goes to make it his
home. Mr.. Sarrels will investigate little
before he makes move. Having large
family to look after, it seems to US he is
right to go first by himself.
Messrs. Samuel Toby and Joe Duckett
who recently went on prospecting tour
through Louisiana have returned
to this county and say they will stay in
Burnet awhile longer. Perhaps If the
heads of all families would first go out
ospecting they would all conclude to let
we'll enough alone, and stay where they
are. We are glad these gentlemen are to
remain with us. They are both good citi-
zens and fine farmers.
In personal difficulty here last night
between Will Mcfarland and Bud Hale,
Hale was pretty badly cut over the head

BURKE, THE DEFAULTER.

Further Intelligence Concerning His
Rumored Intention to Return,
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
GALVESTON, August 16.-There are no
new developments relative to the default
ing Treasurer Burke. 1t is generally be-
lieved his present retreat is San Francisco.
where he is awaiting the action of the
authorities here. In his letter to Kuehn
he suggested that County Judge Austin
telegraph an order for ticket for his re-
turn, or send deputy sheriff after him.
Judge Austin, so far, has not acted upon
either suggestion, and 1t is not known what
action the proper authorities will take in
the matter. 1t is now known that Burke has
written letters to other parties here an
noun sing his intention to return, and ac-
cept whatever punishment may be meted
out to him. An effort is now being made
to create the impression that Burke was
partially deranged when he suddenly left
Galveston, with the cash and bonds,
ETC., belonging to Galveston county,
amounting to $36,000. The large
majority, however, believe there was me
thod, in his madness, and that his pathetic
letter was written for the purpose of Gre
ating sympathy and paving the way for
his return and exemption from punish
ment upon his arrival for his misdeeds
The promised school bonds, amounting tC
$4,000, have not yet been received by
the proper officials, and until they are
doubt will exist as to the sincerity OF Mr.
Burke's propositions.

Is This What Ails Youp

Do you have dull, heavy headache, OBJ
struction of the nasal passages, discharges
falling from the head into the throat,
sometimes profuse, watery and acrid; at
others, thick, tenatious, mucous, puruleut,
bloody and putrid; eyes weak, watery and
inHamed, ringing in the ears, deafness,
hacking or coughing to clear the throat,
expectoration of offensive matter, to-
gether with scabs from ulcers; voice
changed and nasal twang breath offensive;
smell and taste impaired; is there sensa-
ton of dizziness, with mental depression,
a hacking cough and general
debility? If you have all, or any
considerable number of these symp-
toms, you are suffering from nasal ca
tarrh. The more complicated your dis
ease has become, the greater the number
and diversity of symptoms. Thousands
of cases annually, without manifestine
half of the above symptoms, result in
consumption, and end in the grave. No
disease is so common, more deceptive and
dangerous, or less understood, or more
unsuccessfully treated by physicians
The manufacturers of DIR. Sage's Catarrf
Remedy offer, in good faith, reward Of
$500 for a case of this disease which they
cannot cure. The Remedy is sold b.
druggists, at only 80 cents.

An Editorial Reformer Shoots, and is
Shot At.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Ell PAso, August 15.-E. @. Smith is
the publisher of an obscure weekly paper
in this city, called the Republican. He
came here short time ago from Arizona
and started his paper, but has no printing
office. He has been taking the lead as
reformer, and in pointing out matters
about the management in the postotfice
and in municipal affairs. He called at
the office of W. M. Caldwell, prominent
attorney of the city, few days since, and
was ordered away. 1t seems that Smith
had criticised brother -in-law of Cald..
we'll, who was candidate for alderman at
the recent elections, and charged him with
peddling whisky at the polls. This en-
ragged Caldwell, who ordered Smith out of
his office. The latter in his paper to-day
called Caldwell "a big BOBBY" IAN IDIOT
and other offensive epithets. Caldwell
had been looking for Smith this fore
noon, and about dinner time saw him
standing in front of the printing office
He approached him, when Smith stepped
back into the office and remarked:
"Don't come in here to have trouble"
They both began to pull their reVolvers
and fred almost simultaneously. Cald-
we'll was shot in the thigh, receiving a
severe flesh wound, and Smith received his
adversary's bullet. Parties interfered and
stopped the fight. The brother has Cald-
we'll and the sheriff has Smith.

Special telegram to the Statesman.
Ell PAso, August 16-Repeated at
tempts have been made in the lower part
of this county to derail passenger trains
running on the joint track of the I. & p.
and the Southern Pacific railways, by
placing distinctions in the shape
of large rocks and oross.ties,
none of which were successful. The rail-
way officials, becoming alarmed, placed
Deputy United States Marshal Van Roper
and two assistants near the scene of the
derailment. Yesterday they saw three
Mexican boys, none of them over sixteen
years old, creep out of the brush
and begin to pile stones and iron
on the track in large quantities
When they had finished their work the
officers pounced upon the little demons.
They confessed their crime and were
brought here and placed in Jail. Thelr
names are H. P. Lyme, F. Doran and B
Cortez. They hail from Socorro, small
town in this county. They refused to say
what their purpose was in wrecking thu
train. but it is generally believed it wa'
for pluuder. On account of their ages
the authorities are puzzled what to d'
with the offenders.

BRITISH MAN-oF-wAR wRANGLER.

New YORK, August 15.-A Halifax special
says: The unexpected appearance at
Halifax, last evening, of the British war
ship Mangler, gives additional color to the
report that the men-of-war are to assist
the dominion fishery cruiser in the Gulf Of
st. Lawrence. The Wrangler is from the
west coast of Africa, and there was no pre-
vious announcement of her coming. When
the naval officers were questioned about
the proposed movement of war-ships, they
said nothing whatever concerning the ex-
pected arrival of the Wrangler, but
whether the fact had any significance, can
not at present be determined. The only
statement that can be elected from the
best informed officials, is that the fleet will
sail on the 23d for its regular summer
cruise to Charlottstown and Quebec.

NOVA SCOTIA.
THE STORY DIsoREDITED.

HALIFAX, August 16.-The telegraph
wires between New Brunswick and Halifax
we're crowded all day yesterday with in
ouiries as to the sources of the rumors
that the Canadian cruiser had sunk an
American fisherman, and it has been
learned positively that the reports of the
gun were heard off Bouctouche harbo1
some days ago. The reports were heard
between and o'clock in the morning
and we're thought by people not yet out
of their houses to be peals of thunder
but the sky was cloudless in all directions
The story then goes on to say that man
came to the village from shore and re-
ported that an unknown Dominion fishery
cruiser had dismantled and sunk an
American fisherman, the vessel going
down with every soul on board. The story
is discredited.
